"A magical Champagne in the making"
2006 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne

Posted by Ian McFadden

The 2006 CdC is one of the high points of the vintage.

The 2006 has such class and subtle complexity that it serves as a textbook example of what Comtes de Champagne can achieve.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Bottle

I've drunk the 2006 many times since its release and it has never failed to amaze. It's defined by intensity with intricately layered complexity and gorgeous radiance.

In this vintage, Comtes de Champagne is a mesmerizing weave of plushness, power, and an ultra-vibrant incisive core. The total package is really beautiful.

Along with Krug's Clos de Mesnil, Dom Ruinart, Salon, and Selosse, CdC is the quintessential Blanc de Blancs. Comtes de Champagne is Taittinger's prestige cuvée, first released in 1952 and sourced from some of the Côte des Blancs' top Grand Crus (Avize, Le Mesnil and Oger along with a little Chouilly and Cramant).

I'm a huge fan of Comtes de Champagne. I've had so many stunning bottles, especially with age. The 2006 shows the wine in top form. I'm very happy to have an opportunity to offer such a compelling vintage of the wine.
